Blueprint

I picked up a camera in 1993/94 and have had the opportunity to film with a lot of people over the years. One thing that has had me geeked out more than anything was having the chance to skate with some of the Blueprint guys over the last year. I have been a fan of the company since the first promo they had in Puzzle and thier first video, 'Waiting For The World'. If you have not seen it, look for it online. It is still refreshing to have that 'litle kid' feeling after all these years when going skating with someone.

A few of the guys came through Berlin besides the main team trip. Chewy was here with Adidas and Brady with Matix in the summer. Look for Chewy's part in the new Adidas Europe video in the start of next year. They just started editing it and I wish Torsten Frank (Adidas Euro Filmer) many fun hours in front of his screen and sleepless nights. We are all looking forward to the video, no pressure there.. haha


So during a one day stop in the city at the end of the Germany tour, Chez (former Blueprint Filmer/ TM) and the guys stoped in to enjoy a little of what Berlin had to offer. It is hard to keep the motivation going after a full length tour and especially on your last day but they got business handled. Peep a bit of the footy from the tour they posted a few months ago. They saved back a few clips for their new video coming out in spring or so next year. For me, it will be another quality video definitely for the dvd library.



So in the meantime, check out the Mark Baines's parts from 'Waiting for the World' and 'Lost and Found'. This is the man I watched to learn fs nollie heels back in the day. His fs nollie heel switch manny in his 'L&F' part, priceless! Back to the grind I go. Enjoy your day everyone on the World Wide Web.
